This thread is for clearance-- not for sale items. Price reductions for clearance seem to happen on Monday, although not every Monday, but could also occur any day of the week depending on your store's price change team. Price adjustments on clearance are typically not allowed, but some have succeeded or have been able to do as return and rebuy. If you try be sure to bring a smile and a lollipop.

Target often donates its older clearance titles to Goodwill stores, so keep that in mind when you're trying to find items. BigDirty: "Further reduction is possible when a game's price ends with 8 cents. However, when it ends in 4 cents it will NOT drop anymore. If it ends in 9 cents, it's just on sale or on a non-clearance reduction." Also, note that, typically, games will drop three times-- from 30%, 50%, then to the final drop of 75% off of the original price. Some people, however, have seen further drops up to 85%.

When posting deals, please include game, system, price, city and state. For example:Debbie Does Skywalker, Xbox 360, $4.98Mesa, AZ Power Road at Superstition Springs

Here is a fairly easy way to check your local Target's pricing-- often price tags will not be correct. Thanks to BigDirty for this:1) Go to Half.com or a similar site. Search for the game to locate its UPC code number. It's in the gray box underneath the box art graphic.2) Go to UPC Data ,Milk.com , or UPC Database and enter the code so you can print out the UPC. Go to Target and use the price scanners to scan your printouts.

Thanks to Mephitical for this tool for locating clearance titles, which is located here. Go to Amazon or Target to find the item's ASIN. When you find it, replace "B000O3IS48" in the URL with your item's ASIN. This will take you to a page asking you for your zip code. Type in your zip code and click enter-- this will display a list of local stores and whether or not they have your item in stock. YMMV on it working properly.

The lowest known price will be posted. The item could be higher or lower at your store. Numbers in yellow are DPCI numbers, which can be used to check the prices of items on newer scanners.

With a new thread comes an important change many people have been wanting-- DPCI numbers being added to the OP. DPCI numbers are a sort of Target "SKU" that they use for their inventory. These numbers will be on the red stickers on the clearance, or even the original yellow label on the shelf. These numbers can be used on the newer type scanners to check the price, enabling you to check the prices quickly without requesting the game case to be opened for a price check. Please post DPCI numbers that you feel are important and I will add them to the first post. Thanks!

EDIT: Anyone posting DPCI numbers, please check the OP first so that it'll save me a bit of time having to see if I have the DPCI already added. However, if your number differs from the one on the list, let me know!

Yet what is any ocean but a multitude of drops?

Saw that Bourne and that olympics game for the PS3 dropped to $15 and $12.50 respectively. Also I noticed that the Canon EOS Digital SLR camera that is $500 is now on clearance for $350. I hope this sticks around long enough to hit $125 as that is a steal.

Picked up:
DPCI #207-22-0249:360:Grid = $15
DPCI #207-22-0121:360:The Darkness x2 = $5 a piece (Wasn't marked, still behind glass. I asked for a price check and the cashier was amazed that it was so cheap, I wasn't:))

It will be on the red clearance sticker. It will look something similar to 207-22-5678Also, sometimes it's on Target's site. Contrary to popular belief, some of those DPCI numbers are correct. I think the key is, and I've noticed this on a couple of games, is when the game on the site turns from "Available in store" to "Web only" it changes DPCI. I think "Web Only" games have their own special DPCI that is different from the ones in the store, or the ones listed on the site as being available in store. Anyway, a bit of a ramble, but to put it succintly: If the DPCI number for any video game doesn't start with 207, then it's the bogus online DPCI that won't help.

sacsquash, jealous of your target location. Mine's are always cleaned out (darn bay area people *waves*).

Where do find the DPCI number?

I live in an area where there are like 5 or 6 targets within 10 miles of my house, I just found this "Magical location" last week. Almost pissed myself when I checked the clearance area (edit: The electronics department is run by a middle-aged lady that has absolutely no interest in Videogames as far as I can tell, lucky for me I have a big interest in videogames. Looks like she makes all the price changes herself and does it fairly frequently). As well there is a Target at about the 10 mile mark that has like 15 of those 2gb Zen mp3 players at $30, I'll check it again in a week or two and see if it drops to the $13 on the list, and if it does I hope they are all still there. Everybody will love me at Christmas time.

I've never gotten clearance games at target before, but I have a question, are the clearance prices when scanned, or are all clearances YMMV?

I ask, because my circuit city never changes the price stickers on their clearance games. So normally, when something goes on clearance, it's still carrying it's normal price tag on it, but rings up at the new price. I'm pretty just wondering the same thing and seeing if my local target employees are as lazy as the circuity city ones.

Clearances are YMMV, but you will come across games that have the incorrect prices on them. i.e. I went to target yesterday and picked up The Darkness for $5 it was still labeled at MSRP.

They will scan at the clearance price no matter what the tag says in my experience. As mentioned, though, the prices themselves are YMMV; I have two stores about 4 miles away that have different prices a lot of the time.

just hit the cutler ridge store in florida (NOT CALLING IT CUTLER BAY!)
Scene it finally dropped... about 30+ at 14.99 as of last night. also saw 3 gta4 se's at 44.99 (give or take a few bucks). picked up the last lost oddessy for 15 (hiding behind another game in the glass case).
